Dec 14, 2025 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Castle Rock > Gill Crack (5.12a 7a+ 25 VIII+ 25 E5 6a V5 6C) Did this back in 1981 barefooted solo. It is easier barefooted, like two letter grades easier. ● If the finger locks are painful, I can only imagine what the toe jams feel like barefoot! Proud. View Comment
Feb 7, 2025 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > W Ridge > W Ridge - part C - Po… The Human Factor 5.12a R ● I'm assuming Sharp and Hare didn't have ballnuts when they led this, as it was 1980. The thought of leading… View Comment

May 13, 2024 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Roof Routes Downpressor Man 5.12b ● The finishing hold of the crux broke off recently. The four finger, one pad edge that you reach to from the… View Comment
Feb 26, 2024 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > W Ridge > W Ridge - part C - Po… Iron Pony 5.12a ● Excellent climbing and, well, hard for the grade. It felt harder than most of the 5.12a's in the canyon. Co… View Comment

Jun 11, 2023 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Castle Rock Stingay 5.12 R ● This is certainly one of the best routes of the grade in the Front Range. High quality, fun climbing that k… View Comment

Aug 22, 2021 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Tower One Song of the Dodo 5.12a R ● Well hard for the grade. My guess is that this almost never gets onsighted. If it has been onsighted, my mo… View Comment

Seriously... on-sight, warm-up, cold and in the rain. The guy stomped it. ● Kaz - that info will kill your onsight! Just go for it. It’ll be in good condition in the morning in the sh… View Comment
Apr 3, 2021 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Roof Routes Le Toit 5.11a ● The pin before the bolt on pitch 1 is long gone. It makes for some fun, runout climbing getting to the bolt. View Comment

Feb 21, 2021 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Rincon > Rincon - L of Center… Freak Line 5.12- PG13 ● Good effort, Brenton! The new blood in Eldo is bringing good things. I appreciate the sandbagged rating mos… View Comment
Jan 24, 2021 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Rincon > Rincon - Center Route… Mind Over Matter 5.11b ● Easier than Pansee Sauvage (soft 11b) and slightly harder than the third pitch of Jules Verne (10d). View Comment
Dec 27, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Rincon > Rincon - Center Route… Bulging Codpiece (submitted as On the Crest) 5.11b ● Steve, that makes me so happy! Thanks for the history. Is that the same deal with Raccoon Soup/Thunderbolt… View Comment
Dec 26, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Rincon > Rincon - Center Route… Bulging Codpiece (submitted as On the Crest) 5.11b ● I have climbed in Eldo for 20 years to only find out now that the other name for this route is the best nam… View Comment

Jul 29, 2020 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Castle Rock Country Club Crack 5.11c ● The second pitch roof is no harder with the missing chockstone, just a bit more exciting. View Comment
Jun 14, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Mountain > Ridge 1 Real Men of Genius 5.11c ● The flake is still there at the first overhang, and it is a f&%ing death time bomb. I could easily move it… View Comment*
Mar 17, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Roof Routes Huck Off 5.12b ● Certainly one of the best sport routes in Eldo. Scott Bennett's comments above are a sandbag though! I love… View Comment
Jan 12, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Roof Routes Le Toit Direct 5.11d R ● No longer R with the new bolts. Very PG-13. Excellent pitch. View Comment
Nov 5, 2019 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Tower One The Untouchables 5.12c ● Has anyone climbed this since the big hold broke off at the crux, where the obvious rock scar is? View Comment
Sep 13, 2019 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > W Ridge > W Ridge - part C - Po… False Prophet 5.11d R ● I did this recently and the slab at the start of the second pitch is the same as how it's always been. No h… View Comment
